"It seems we can't stay in Distant View City anymore," Chu Mo said softly.

The Fu Family had mobilized all their power, utilizing agents that had been hidden for generations, just to find his whereabouts. Perhaps now, in the entire southern region of the Immortal Domain, any man and woman seen together would be scrutinized by the Fu Family's people, wouldn't they?

Chu Mo couldn't help but smile bitterly; indeed, there is strength in numbers. Such a clumsy method could only be utilized by a huge family like the Fu Family.

But he had to admit, the method was effective. If he had been slightly less alert today, he might have really been betrayed by Du Song without even knowing it.

Thinking this, Chu Mo returned to the inn at Distant View City. He didn't trouble the innkeeper because there was no need.

After returning to the room, he found Qi Xiaoyu already awake, her delicate hands propping up her cheeks, lost in thought. Seeing Chu Mo, a softness flickered in Qi Xiaoyu's eyes, followed quickly by a trace of darkness. She shook her head in annoyance and then looked at Chu Mo, "What should we do?"

Chu Mo walked over, gently took Qi Xiaoyu's hand, and smiled, "Just follow your heart."

"That's a rather irresponsible answer!" Qi Xiaoyu glared at Chu Mo, her face troubled as she said, "I never expected the dark holy artifact to be so powerful, constantly influencing me. Now that I have fully merged with it, even if I wanted to drive it out... it's too late."

"Why drive it out?" Chu Mo looked into Qi Xiaoyu's eyes, "You're beautiful and wonderful just this way!"

"Hm?" Qi Xiaoyu looked at Chu Mo.

"Because you were always a bit cold before... this way, it's much better," Chu Mo said.

"Are you saying... I wasn't very likeable before?" Qi Xiaoyu's eyes darkened further, appearing quite sinister.

"Past, present, or future, I like you no matter how you change," Chu Mo was getting better at sweet-talking as he spoke.

"Don't avoid the question, answer me. Did you not like my previous self?" Qi Xiaoyu stared into Chu Mo's eyes.

"I liked it, but I like your current state even more," Chu Mo said.

"You men... do you all like your women to act very... well, that way in private?" Even deeply influenced by the dark holy artifact, there were still some things Qi Xiaoyu couldn't quite say as she blushed, looking at Chu Mo: "But in front of others, they need to appear very saintly?"

"Don't women feel the same?" Chu Mo curiously looked at Qi Xiaoyu.

"..." Qi Xiaoyu stared blankly, glare full of black lines at Chu Mo, "Which way?"

"Just the way you described!" Chu Mo looked innocently at Qi Xiaoyu, "Isn't it the same for everyone on this matter?"

"Hmph!" Qi Xiaoyu huffed through her nose, then leaned on Chu Mo's shoulder. Such an action, if done by the elf princess before merging with the dark holy artifact, would have been quite difficult. But now, it felt so natural.

Chu Mo gently embraced Qi Xiaoyu, "Having you by my side is indeed the greatest happiness!"

"Me too," Qi Xiaoyu took a deep breath, as if deeply craving the scent of Chu Mo, "With you by my side, I fear nothing! Do you think... we can always be together like this?"

"We can!" Chu Mo answered confidently.

"By the way, what were you doing when you went out just now?" Qi Xiaoyu looked at Chu Mo, "I woke up and didn't see you. If you hadn't left a note, I might have thought you'd left."

"How could I," Chu Mo smiled and said, "The Fu Family has used all their power, wanting to capture us, mainly to capture me."

"Then would you ever ask me to leave?" Qi Xiaoyu tilted her head, looking at Chu Mo's side face, "Like telling me that you're very dangerous... and then have me leave alone?"

"I wouldn't," Chu Mo said.

"Hm?" Qi Xiaoyu was slightly startled.

"No one can separate us," Chu Mo answered earnestly.

"That's right!" Qi Xiaoyu lightly kissed Chu Mo's face, "In life and in death, I'm with you."

"Right!" Chu Mo nodded vigorously, holding Qi Xiaoyu's hand. Determination shone in his eyes.

"Let's leave this place," Qi Xiaoyu whispered. "I want to find a secluded spot, just for the two of us."

"Sure!" Chu Mo nodded again.

Thus, Chu Mo led Qi Xiaoyu away from Distant View City.

They left quietly, without a trace.

The innkeeper had checked once, and after discovering they had already left, he didn't think much of it. He only found it odd that Du Song hadn't come again.

...…

Fu Jiushu looked at the information gathered before him, and one piece caught his attention.

"After contacting us, Du Song from the Du Family in Distant View City mysteriously disappeared. No one answered his sound transmission stone anymore."

Fu Jiushu's narrow eyes slightly narrowed as he murmured, "Distant View City? The Du Family?"

He then activated the message board and directly contacted someone, commanding in a deep voice, "Fu Jin, go to Distant View City immediately, find out what Du Song from the Du Family has been doing these days, and where he has gone. Make it quick!"

From the message board, a young voice responded, "Yes!"

Fu Jiushu continued to look over other reports. This method was indeed a crude one, like finding a needle in a haystack. However, the Fu Family relied on countless "fish" in this sea. Without these "fish," it would definitely be like finding a needle in a haystack, but with these countless "fish," it was not.

This was a thorough investigation!

It was a carpet search!

"Chu Mo... I refuse to believe that you can truly escape my search!"

Half a day later, Fu Jiushu received feedback from Fu Jin.

"My lord, it has been confirmed. An inn in Distant View City indeed had a young man and woman staying there, and Du Song had even disguised himself as a mere helper to probe. But after that, Du Song disappeared, and that young man and woman... disappeared too!"

Slap!

Fu Jiushu slapped the table and immediately stood up, shouting loudly, "It's those two! Where are they now?"

"My lord... the couple has been gone for quite a while. The last person to see them said they left from the north of the city, but their exact destination is unknown," Fu Jin responded from the message board.

"Then go find them! Mobilize all forces... to that area! Even if it means digging three feet into the ground... find them for me!" Fu Jiushu demanded somewhat frantically. "And... I'm coming over right now, I will personally oversee this!"

"My lord... it's still not entirely certain..." Fu Jin seemed a bit puzzled. While Du Song's disappearance might be directly related to the couple, it couldn't guarantee that the couple was definitely those two with Chu Mo, could it?

"Carry out the order!" Fu Jiushu said coldly.

"Yes!" Fu Jin immediately took the order seriously, with a solemn expression.

In the Fu Family, to all intelligence personnel, Fu Jiushu was their sky, their god... their faith! Even the head of the Fu Family... was not as important to them as Fu Jiushu!

This was different from Fu Jiushu's image in the outside world, incomparable. And this... was precisely what made Fu Jiushu terrifying.

At that moment, Fu Jiushu took a few deep breaths and then said in a deep voice, "Someone, prepare the warship immediately, I'm going to Distant View City!"

"What are you doing there?" an icy voice suddenly rang out.

Fu Jiushu's face changed drastically, and he loudly called out, "Someone..."
